I, myself, may not be up to date on all the sick drops that Skrillex delivers with his music, or be completely immersed in the genre of music known as dubstep, but that doesn’t really matter. If you are not familiar Skrillex, he is a famous dubstep artist and is considered one of the forerunners of the genre. While his music isn’t always considered the best out there, his name is almost synonymous with dubstep.

Yet, today, instead of releasing another track that drops some sick beat all over the place. Skrillex has released a flash game upon us called Skrillex Quest. A tribute to retro games from the Nintendo generation. Specifically featuring a major homage to The Legend of Zelda and bits and pieces of various other RPGS.

Skrillex Quest, is a game world that is being corrupted by a spec of dust. This corruption is slowly deleting and damaging the game world, and it is up to Player 1 to try and stop it. The game puts you in control of a protagonist named P1, and its your job to try and stop the land from glitching/corrupting itself and ultimately deleting. The game features music from Skrillex and the mixture of dubstep and glitching actually creates a very solid game. Even if you are a not a fan of dubstep, but you are a fan of video games, I suggest playing this at least once.
